I also think all the outfitters at the expo had to do with the economy. They were a lot more pushy this year and the prices for their hunts was lower this year as well. Well most of the outfitters. There were some that was charging premium prices for their hunts and could not understand why you would not want to pay 3500 for 5-6 day hunts. On the other hand, there were some great animal mounts from several taxidermist at the expo. I did not buy too much this year, got a Hunter Safety System Life line for $35 out the door and a pair of BOGS boots for my son. The Bone Collector seminar was entertaining.
